DARLINGTON - Roughly 1,000 residents and businesses within the city will receive a public safety survey in their mailboxes this week from the Darlington Police Department.
The community survey, which is being handled by volunteers in the Criminal Justice Department at the University of Wisconsin Platteville, is a first-ever attempt by the department to gauge public sentiment as it relates to a number of public services and enforcement measures provided by the police department.
According to Police Chief Jason King, the survey will only take a couple minutes to complete, since it is only 10 questions long, and will help to guide the department in making decisions about its daily routine based upon what is important to the residents. There is a section following the 10 questions for citizens to provide comments if they wish.
According to the Darlington Police Department, officers are interested in hearing from their residents, and this survey offers a confidential format to let their voices be heard about public safety concerns.
All recipients should fill out the survey and return it in the provided envelope. If residents do not wish to include written comments, they may simply answer the 10 questions and return the survey.
Anyone with questions may contact King at 776-4981.
